Answer:

The share will cost $37.04

Explanation:

We divide the quarterly dividend by the quarterly rate to get the present intrinsic value of the stock:

13.5% = 13.5/100 = 0.135

now we divide by 4:

0.135 / 4 = 0,03375‬ quarterly rate

1.25 / 0.03375 = 37,037037 = $37.04 value of the share according to the present value of their future cash dividends.

Final answer:

The fair value of the preferred stock that pays a constant quarterly dividend of $1.25 per quarter with a 13.5 percent annual required rate of return is calculated using the present value of a perpetuity formula and is found to be $37.037 per share.

Explanation:

To calculate the fair value (or price) of the preferred stock that is expected to pay a constant quarterly dividend of $1.25 per quarter into the future with a required rate of return, Rs, of 13.5 percent, the formula for the present value of a perpetuity is used. This formula is Price = Dividend per period / Required Rate of Return. In this case, since dividends are quarterly and the rate is annual, we should adjust the rate to a quarterly basis.

First, convert the annual required rate of return to a quarterly rate by dividing by 4, so 13.5% / 4 = 3.375% per quarter. Then, we calculate the price of the share today using the present value of a perpetuity formula:

Price = $1.25 / (0.03375) = $37.037

Therefore, the fair value of the preferred stock is $37.037 per share.

Answer:

As all quarterly adjustments have been done the adjustments will be only for the final quarter( April - May- June) and calculations will be accordingly.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Polychronic.

Explanation:

Chronemics is the study of how time affects communication. It is used to understand the use of time in different cultures. Monochronic cultures are those who value the use of time so they tend to be alert of their watches. Polychronic cultures, on the other hand, are those who consider time is flexible, fluid and driven not exactly by the minute -it could by hours.

Final answer:

The attitude of being flexible with time as described in the situation is characteristic of a polychronic culture, reflecting a more relaxed approach to scheduling and punctuality.

Explanation:

The attitude regarding time as described by the Mexican workers that Will and Christy encountered is best described as polychronic. In polychronic cultures, people often handle multiple tasks simultaneously and maintain a more fluid approach to scheduling and punctuality. This contrasts with monochronic cultures, where time is segmented and schedules are strictly adhered to. Mexican culture tends to value flexibility and a more relaxed view of time, suggesting a polychronic approach to time management.

Final answer:

Net working capital is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from current assets. However, the calculated value does not match any of the provided options, indicating a possible error in the question or a need for additional information.

Explanation:

To calculate the company's net working capital, we need to determine the company's current assets and current liabilities and then subtract the current liabilities from the current assets.

First, to find the current portion of the debt (current liabilities), we take 55 percent of the total debt: 0.55 x $124,250 = $68,337.50.

Next, we calculate the current assets. Since the question does not provide specific current assets, we assume all assets other than net fixed assets are current. This is calculated as follows: Total Assets = Shareholders' Equity + Total Debt = $132,800 + $124,250 = $257,050. Then subtract the net fixed assets from the total assets to find current assets: $257,050 - $176,450 = $80,600.

We subtract the current liabilities from the current assets to get the net working capital: $80,600 - $68,337.50 = $12,262.50. This value does not match any of the provided options, suggesting there might be an error in the question or additional information is needed.

Answer:

a) The total dollar amount  = $513.2

b) The interest payment = $13.20

Explanation:

Use following formula to calculate the real interest rate:

1 + Real Interest rate = (1 + Nominal Interest rate ) / (1 + Inflation rate )

1 + Real Interest rate = (1 + 7% ) / (1 + 4.25% )

1 + Real Interest rate = (1 + 0.07 ) / (1 + 0.0425 )

1 + Real Interest rate = 1.07 / 1.0425

1 + Real Interest rate = 1.0264

Real Interest rate = 1.0264 - 1

Real Interest rate = 0.0264

Real Interest rate = 2.64%

a) The total dollar amount

A = P x ( 1 + r )^n = 500 x ( 1 + 0.0264)^1 = $513.2

b) The interest payment

Interest payment = $513.2 - $500 = $13.20

The total dollar amount to pay back is $535, and the amount of interest payment resulting from the real rate of interest is $13.75.

The total dollar amount you would need to pay back to your roommate consists of the principal amount of $500 and the nominal interest of 7 %. Therefore, to calculate the total amount you will owe at the end of the year, we need to find the amount of interest first and then we add that to the original $500.

Interest = Principal x Rate of Interest = 500 x 0.07 = $35. Hence the total amount you would have to pay back would be the principal + interest = $500 + $35 = $535.

The dollar amount of the interest payment due to real rate of interest can be calculated by factoring in inflation. Real interest rate is essentially the nominal interest rate minus the expected inflation. So, Real Interest = Nominal Interest - Inflation = 7% - 4.25% = 2.75%. Therefore, the portion of the interest due to the real rate of interest = Principal x Real rate of interest = $500 x 0.0275 = $13.75.

Explanation:

   The price of 8% bond must be lower than its face value to make the yield to maturity equal to 10%

Similarly , the price of 12 % bond must be higher than its face value to make the yield to maturity equal to 10%

Rate of return is always equal to yield to maturity .

So even if we do not know the face value of bond , we can infer that rate of return must be equal to yield to maturity .

b ) Higher coupon rate does not guarantee  higher rate of return because higher coupon than the prevailing rate of return in the market pulls down  the market price of the bond .

The rate of return for both bonds would be 10% if their yield to maturity remains constant at 10%. The bond with a higher coupon rate does not offer a higher rate of return if the yield to maturity remains the same.

The rate of return for both bonds, assuming the yield to maturity (YTM) remains at 10%, would be 10%. The rate of return on a bond is essentially its YTM, which is the total anticipated return on a bond if it is held until maturity. This includes both interest payments and the capital gain or loss due to changes in the bond's price.

In a situation where a bond's YTM remains the same from one year to the next, the rate of return would also remain the same (in this case, 10%). Thus, the coupon rate does not affect the rate of return if the YTM remains constant.

So, while the bond with a 12% coupon rate would pay more interest annually than the bond with an 8% coupon rate, it does not offer a higher rate of return in terms of YTM. In this case, the bond with the higher coupon rate does not give a higher rate of return.

Answer:

c. exposing himself to unlimited personal liability.

Explanation:

One major characteristic of sole proprietorship being the individual is sole recipient of profits and sole bearer of all risks and liabilities.

A sole proprietor bears unlimited liability in the sense that, in case of bankruptcy, the proprietor's personal assets can be taken away to repay debts owed by him.

Though a proprietor also remains the sole recipient of all gains, similarly the proprietor is also exposed to unlimited risk.

Thus, the correct option is, c. exposing himself to unlimited personal liability   .

Max is exposing himself to unlimited personal liability.

The correct answer is c. exposing himself to unlimited personal liability. When max chose to operate his production studio as a sole proprietorship, he became personally liable for all the debts and obligations of the company. This means that if the business fails or incurs losses, Max's personal assets could be at risk. This is one of the main disadvantages of a sole proprietorship, as it exposes the owner to unlimited personal liability.

In business, Regiocentric refers to an international business strategy in which a company will obtain their employees from  the locals every time they opened up their branch in foreign country.

This will be the most effective for the manufacturing firm in the case above.

Locals people tend to have more understanding about the culture in that place. Meaning that they will communicate more efficiently with one another and they will have more understanding about customers' preference in that country.

The best orientation for a firm expanding into the EU market would most likely be a geocentric approach which views the entire world as a potential market and develops integrated global strategies.

For a firm expanding into the EU market, especially setting up operations in France, a geocentric orientation would likely be the most effective approach. This is because a geocentric orientation is one that views the entire world as a potential market and strives to develop integrated global strategies. With this orientation, the firm can build synergies through knowledge transfer, and also adapt themselves to local customs, traditions, and preferences by understanding the unique dynamics of the new market.

An ethnocentric orientation, where the firm applies its home market strategies in the foreign market might not work efficiently due to potential cultural, legal, and business practice differences. A polycentric approach, treating each market separately might lose opportunities for synergy. Lastly, regiocentric centers on a region and can lose sight of global potential.

Answer:

The distribution channels are the different entities involved in the business structure and marketing of a product. Its main objective is to ensure that the product is transferred from the factory to the final consumer.

Explanation:

The distribution channels can be classified into:

Consumer goods channels

They are divided into:

Direct channel

It goes from producer to consumer. It is the simplest that exists to distribute consumer goods, as it does not involve intermediaries. Examples: Avon and Amway

Retail Channel

The distribution follows the following scheme: producer-retailer-consumer. It includes all the large supermarket chains and stores. It is the most visible channel for the consumer. Examples: Wal-Mart stores, frequent cars, gas stations.

Wholesale channel

The distribution follows according to the scheme: producer-wholesaler-retailer-consumer. The distribution of medicinal and food products is done using this channel. The goods that are in great demand are distributed through these channels. Examples: travel agencies, small shops in the villages.

Agent/Broker Channel

Follow the following scheme: producer-agent-retailer-consumer. Producers prefer to incorporate intermediary agents to get their products to the retail market. The products are sold to large retail companies. Examples: distribution chains of perishable food and oil.

Double channel

The sale of the product to the consumer is done following the scheme: manufacturer-agent/intermediary-wholesaler-retailer-consumer. Sometimes manufacturers use intermediary agents. These employ wholesalers who sell to large chain stores or small stores. Examples: market franchises and exclusive importers.

The main types of distribution channels are direct selling, wholesaling, and retail. Direct selling involves sales from producers directly to consumers, wholesaling sells in bulk to other businesses, and retail sells directly to the public.

Distribution channels are the pathways through which goods and services flow from producers to consumers. Understanding how the channels used will affect demand is crucial for business success. Direct selling, wholesaling, and retail are common distribution channels.

Direct selling occurs when manufacturers sell directly to the consumer. An example of this could be a farmer's market where farmers sell produce directly to customers. The advantage is that it eliminates the middleman, potentially offering a lower price to consumers and a higher profit margin for sellers. However, the disadvantage lies in the limited reach and higher marketing costs.

Wholesaling involves selling goods in large quantities to retailers or other merchants. For example, a manufacturing firm might sell bulk quantities of its products to a retail chain. The advantage here is the ability to move large volumes of goods quickly. The disadvantage could be the lower margins due to bulk discounts and the dependence on a few large buyers.

Finally, retail distribution involves selling goods directly to the public through various outlets like stores or online platforms. A real-world example is a national grocery store chain. Retailing provides wide consumer reach and direct feedback but comes with high operating costs and intense competition.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": monitor, spokesperson, negotiator.

Explanation:

The monitoring function of managers implies following up on the performance of the company and each of its components, whether customers, suppliers or employees. As a spokesperson, executives are the face and voice of the firm in front of other entities and the general public. Finally, as negotiators, managers look for coming up with solutions to improve the company's efficiency and productivity, thus, its profits.

A CPA should address non-standard financial actions taken by a CFO within a nonprofit organization by documenting the situation and raising it with the board of directors or equivalent oversight body to ensure ethical conduct and proper accountability.

As a CPA reviewing the financial procedures and records of a small nonprofit organization, encountering a case where the CFO has initiated and approved non-payroll checks to an employee for personal matters raises significant ethical and accountability concerns.

In non-profits, the management of finances is expected to be transparent and in accordance with the policies of the organization. The actions taken by the CFO, although well-intentioned, represent a deviation from standard accounting procedures and could potentially lead to questions of misuse of funds or embezzlement. Furthermore, this action could set a precedent that may encourage similar future actions without proper oversight.

Answer: The correct answer is MOST

Explanation: Managers in any organization are known to provide the necessary human action inorder for the planned outcomes of the organization to be achieved. In doing the above, the mostly get involved in activities that involve motivating others and meeting people. These activities such as leading others, leading innovations and networking over time tend to be enjoyed as they are not monotonous activities like paperwork.

Final answer:

First-line supervisors are most susceptible to job burnout and attrition due to the challenges of a manager's job, but successful managers often enjoy leading and innovation, and find that clearly communicating expectations and being supportive reduces stress.

Explanation:

Among managers, first-line supervisors tend to experience the most job burnout and attrition. The activities that managers like the least include controlling subordinates, handling paperwork, and managing time pressures. First-line supervisors tend to burn out because it is difficult to get used to the fast pace, unrelenting pressure, fragmented work, and high stress that comes with a manager's job. Successful managers learn that they must delegate work, develop networks, and focus on developing their employees rather than trying to do everything themselves.

Recent research found that both male and female managers across five different countries reported that they generally enjoy activities such as leading others, networking, and leading innovation. Also, to reduce stress and foster a positive work environment, it is essential for managers to make expectations clear. By doing so, employees experience less stress, which in turn reduces the potential for burnout.

Being aware that the need for achievement may lead to micromanaging and overbearing behavior can help individuals adapt their managerial style to be more supportive, thus reducing stress for both managers and their subordinates. Moreover, portraying situations as opportunities for solutions rather than sources of anger can also reduce stress and improve overall workplace dynamics.

Explanation:

The computation of the allocation rate and how much cost is to be allocated is shown below:

Fixed cost per hour = $146,200 ÷ 3,400 hours = $43

Variable cost per hour = $32

So, the total cost per hour equal to

= Fixed cost per hour + Variable cost per hour

= $43 + $32

= $75

And, the total cost allocated is

= 430 hours × $75

= $32,250

Answer:

Total cost accounted will be $192000

So option (C) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given beginning work in process inventory = $26000

Ending work in process inventory = $31000

And cost of units transferred from the department is $161000

We have to find the total cost accounted

Total cost account will be equal to sum of ending process inventory and cost of units transferred out from the department

So total cost accounted = $31000 + $161000 = $192000

So option (C) will be correct answer

Covered Interest Arbitrage is a trading strategy which investors use to try to take advantage of the differences in interest rates in two currencies. A Forward Currency Contract is used by the Covered Interest Arbitrageur so that they know what exchange rate they will receive when converting their investment back into their original currency.

For example, the interest rate in the Eurozone might be 5% per year, while the interest rate in the U.S. is 3% per year. An American investor with $1,000 in the U.S. would earn $1,030 given a year, while in the Eurozone the investor exchanges the $1,000 which is EUR 915 and earns EUR 960 during the same year. Then, the American investor exchanges back his money into dollars resulting in $1050.

Answer:

$15,761.90

Explanation:

Given that

Amount paid at the end of each year = $1,000

Time period = 50 years

Interest rate = 6% per year

So, the present value of the annuity would be

= Amount paid at the end × PVIFA factor for 50 years at 6% interest rate

= $1,000 × 15.7619

= $15,761.90

Refer to the PVIFA table.

Basically we multiplied the amount with the PVIFA factor.

Final answer:

The present value is calculated using a standard financial formula which is  $15,761.90

Explanation:

The present value of a series of annuity payments is found by calculating the present value of each individual payment and then summing them up. The formula for the present value of an annuity is given by:

PV = P * [(1 - (1 + r)-n) / r]

Where:

PV is the present value of the annuity

P is the amount of each annuity payment

r is the interest rate per period

n is the total number of payments

In this case, P is $1,000, r is 0.06 (6% expressed as a decimal), and n is 50.

= Amount paid at the end × PVIFA factor for 50 years at 6% interest rate

= $1,000 × 15.7619

= $15,761.90
